We wait until the price tags go down, then add a guy like Rankins that is a decent to above average guy. But, he's a pass rusher at DT. Not a run stuffer. And he's hurt. Reader was probably the best DT in the league vs the run. And I think Reader wanted to be here.
We let Bates go and replace him with Nick Scott. That fails, and we bring in Geno Stone. Big downgrades.
I couldn't believe the people on this board that spoke of Geno Stone so highly. He split time as the Ravens 3rd safety for the last two years with Ardarius Washington, who just happened to get hurt for them the last two years, elevating Stone as the 3rd S. He is a back-end of the roster depth piece who is a poor run defender with limited athletic ability that just happened to have 7 INTs last year. Fluky things happen when it comes to INTs and somehow the front office + many fans on this board thought we signed a difference maker.
